Firefox 3, Sun jre1.6.0_12_x86_64 and enabling a plugin
by James B. Byrne 22 May '09

22 May '09

SOMEbody on this list must have this combination working by now. How does one enable the firefox jre plugin for Sun's x86_64 distribution? Every site that I can find refers to making a link to a now non-existent plugins directory under the jre installation directory. The official firefox plugin pages refers to the existence of a Sun x86_64 jre but provides no details on how to enable it. The Sun site speaks only about installing i386 versions. Most other web sites that I have found are for distributions other than CentOS. Help? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Problems with latest 5.3 yum update and grub
by Scott Ehrlich 21 May '09

21 May '09

I recently updated two 64-bit CentOS 5.3 systems via yum update. - One system had two physical SATA hard drives - drive 0 was Windows XP w/SP3 w/NTFS, drive 1 was CentOS; - The other system had two physical SATA hard drives, configured via a hardware mirror of RAID 1 (mirroring) After the latest yum update, grub on both systems failed me, dropping to the grub prompt. For the dual-boot system, I ended up reformatting and reinstalling Windows on drive 0. The CentOS was not touched. That system is fine now. For the RAID CentOS-only system, I experimented with removing one drive from the mirror and CentOS booted as though it was reboot after a fresh install, though there were some traces that something else (like an upgrade) was mixed in, but didn't work right. I ended up deleting the hardware RAID and removed a drive. That system works fine now. Has anyone else experienced grub problems with more than one drive installed from a recent yum update? I will not perform an update on any other multi-drive systems, including servers, until I know things are fixed. Thanks for any insights. Scott

CentOS5 Desktops authenticating to 389 Directory Server
by Clint Dilks 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hi Everyone. I am doing some LDAP testing. I have setup a 389 Directory Server on CentOS 5 and using the default schema I have populated it with a couple of users. I then did the configuration on the client that I thought was needed to make it authenticate. To test this I expected to be able to use id <uidNumber> of a user I had defined. But I get id: 1001: No such user id: 5001: No such user I then thought perhaps it was an LDAP permissions problem so I tried binding to the LDAP server using a user I know has full rights using these entries in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf there was no change. BINDDN cn=admin,dc=scms,dc=waikato,dc=ac,dc=nz BINDPW LDAPt3st I can query these users from a desktop that I want to use the LDAP server as an authentication source.

magic.mime dependency problem between file and httpd

[OT] Oracle->MySQL ODBC via SSL using: stock MySQL, mysql-connect or-odbc-3.51.27-0, Oracle XE
by Jason Pyeron 21 May '09

21 May '09

I know this is very off topic, but getting MySQL and unix ODBC to play nice via SSL on Centos has been a battle. I finally have it working via isql but when I connect via Oracle I get an error. If I use the mysql odbc connector directly: ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message: [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]SSL connection error (SQL State: S1000; SQL Code: 2026) ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from USGNWEB If I connect via unixODBC: ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message: [Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][unixODBC][MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]SSL connection error (SQL State: S1000; SQL Code: 2026) ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from USGNWEB My assumption is that I am missing some environment variable in Oracle's environment, but what should I look for? What information could I provide that would be helpful? -Jason -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00.

MySql Query Cache
by James Matthews 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hi, One of the servers I run is a VPS running Lighttpd fcgi which I am running a simple wordpress blog off of. Since RAM is the biggest limitation I have disabled the query cache on MySql. Now I have the following questions. 1. What does the FCGI server cache now? 2. How can I speed up this setup? 3. Will turning on the query cache speed things up? I am trying to make sure the system doesn't swap much so things stay snappy. Thanks James -- http://www.jewelerslounge.com

Couldn't recognize the image file format for file /usr/share/gdm/themes/Default/background.png error
by Dale - Ehome 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hello All, I am getting the following error on re-booting my CentOS 4.5 server: "There was an error loading the theme *Default*" "Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/*usr*/*share*/*gdm*/*themes*/*Default*/*background*.*png*'" It appears that when I click on the OK dialog the server continues to boot, with no update to the screen. I have in the past verified that this file exists and does not appear to have any problems. I can now get remote access to the server and wish to do whatever it takes to prevent this from happening in the future. This summer I hope to upgrade the box to the latest CentOS. I do know the box will need to be restarted once before that time due to some planned changes at the co-loc. Any ideas on what to change/fix to prevent this from happening again? Thank you very much! Dale
